«Los años de espera» is the novel by Fumiko Enchi, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
In late 19th-century Japan, Tomo, a woman educated in the traditional role that feudal society imposes on her sex, endures her husband's infidelities and, submissively, accepts the humiliating task of finding him concubines and sheltering them under her own roof. Throughout the novel, Suga, Yuri and other women pass by, whose dignity and fortitude compose a collective portrait of the female condition of the era.
The novel was originally published in 1957 under the title «女坂» and won the Noma Literary Prize.
For readers of Japanese fiction and historical fiction who want to approach the female condition in traditional Japan.
